Summary

Sarah Carter collected botanical specimens largely from the Upper Hunter River region of New South Wales, in a area around the family property at Scone. Her collections were sent to Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller for identification, her fungal and freshwater algal specimens being forwarded to European experts for examination. Carter's mother, another Sarah, and several of her brothers also collected specimens. Over 300 of Carter's specimens are in the National Herbarium of Victoria.
